MALMO, Sweden — Czech Republic defenceman Michal Plutnar has been suspended one game for pushing lineman Eduard Metalnikov during his team’s 5-4 shootout victory over Canada on Saturday.

Plutnar, who plays for the WHL’s Tri-City Americans, will sit out today’s matchup against Germany. He scored a second-period goal against Canada.

Plutnar shoved Metalnikov at the end of the second period as in an effort to confront Canadian winger Connor McDavid. McDavid shot the puck by goaltender Marek Langhammer and into the net after the buzzer sounded.
